Abstract

This report, compiled by Jaime del Val, Reverso/Metabody Institute, in 2023, synthesises over 100 previous reports by United Nations, governmental commissions and high profile scientific commissions that state that animal based food is the major source of climate change, biodiversity loss, human health problems, human inequality and animal suffering. The report coins the acronym “AEFI” (Animal Exploitation Food Industries) for highlighting the central, present and historical role of this industry in the crisis, and pushes for a renewal of global legal frameworks that recognise the rights of all life forms as condition of possibility for a liveable future for humans themselves, while exposing the interconnection of the core role of shifting diets away from animal products with a voluntary reduction of overconsumption and overpopulation.
